My feelings

Aristotle once wrote, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual." The rule of law simply means, no one is above the law. Many countries base their governments upon the grounds of this law. One of the countries that is governed based on this law is the great nation called the United States of America. For the most part, most of our police officers abide by this rule, but a few seem to overlook it. An example of officers who overlook this rule are, the four officers that brutally assaulted Los Angeles resident, Rodney King on March 3, 1991.  Sergeant Stacey Koon, Timothy Wind, Theodore Briseno, and Laurence Powell simply forgot that their job as a police officer is to protect the citizens from fear, and not make the citizens fear them.
